Q1: What are the advantages of the Advanced 80-item Health Check Package compared with the Basic 62-item Health Check Package?
The Advanced Package provides greater depth and broader coverage than the basic health check.
In addition to the core test items, it includes anaemia screening with iron assessment, more comprehensive liver and kidney function indicators, electrolyte balance testing, a complete thyroid function assessment with 3 indicators, and blood group and Rh factor testing.
It also includes more detailed data analysis, such as the CHOL / HDL-C ratio, to provide more in-depth health insights. This package is particularly suitable for individuals who would like a more detailed approach to health management.
Q2: Who should consider choosing this Advanced Package?
This package may be particularly suitable for:
- Men and women aged 40 or above who wish to have a more in-depth annual health check
- Individuals with a family history of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or anaemia
- Working professionals with long-term stress, irregular routines or unhealthy dietary habits
- Individuals who would like a comprehensive and detailed overview of their health profile for proactive health management
Q3: Do I need to fast before the test? Are there any other precautions?
Yes. To help ensure more accurate results for blood glucose, blood lipids and liver function tests, you should fast for at least 8 hours before the check-up. A small amount of plain water is allowed.
It is also recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing to facilitate the examination, and to avoid strenuous exercise before the test.
Q4: Why are electrolytes such as potassium, sodium and chloride included in the kidney function assessment?
Electrolytes are important for maintaining fluid balance, nerve signalling and normal muscle contraction.
Electrolyte imbalance may be associated with dehydration, abnormal kidney function, endocrine conditions or medication-related effects. These markers provide useful information about the body’s internal balance and are a strengthened component of this advanced health check.
Q5: How long does the full health check take, and how will the report be explained?
The whole process usually takes around 2 hours, depending on the centre’s schedule and patient flow on the day.
Once the report is ready, our healthcare professionals or doctor will provide a one-to-one explanation, helping you understand the meaning of each key indicator and any relevant health advice.
Q6: What should I do if there are abnormal results?
The purpose of this package is to support earlier identification and management of potential health concerns.
If any abnormal results are found, we will provide professional health advice, lifestyle recommendations and, where necessary, referral suggestions for further specialist assessment.
Q7: How often should I have such a comprehensive health check?
For individuals who are focused on proactive health management, an annual comprehensive health check may be considered.
Regular testing can help establish a personal health data trend, allowing you and your doctor to monitor subtle changes over time and adjust your health management plan where appropriate.
Q8: What is the purpose of blood group and Rh factor testing?
Knowing your blood group can be important in emergency situations where blood transfusion may be required.
For women planning pregnancy, Rh factor information may also be relevant. If a mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, there may be a risk of haemolytic disease of the newborn. Knowing this in advance can support appropriate pregnancy monitoring and preventive care.
